A guidance counselor at Glacier Creek Middle School has died while kayaking on Lake Superior.

Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District officials said they learned about Robert Weitzel's death on Sunday night and have been trying to piece together information over the past few days.

Officials said they told the school district staff about Weitzel's death on Tuesday but haven't communicated with parents and the community because they have had only limited communication with Weitzel's wife, former Middleton High School teacher Debra Weitzel, and their family since Sunday.
